Strawberry Bruschetta Recipe from Reluctant Entertainer

May 25, 2011

I’m taking some time off to be with my family for a little while.
The following recipe is written by Sandy of Reluctant Entertainer. Welcome, Sandy!

Summertime entertaining seems to be a more “go with the flow” kind of entertaining at our place. Like 2 nights ago when we texted our friends (we’d been hanging around our kids for too long … lots of texting with 3 teens around) and asked if they wanted to come in to town for dinner. It was very last minute.

A late dinner it was. I think we ate around 9, but isn’t that what summer is all about?

Lazy days, long nights, hanging outside with friends eating good food, and trying to stay cool?

Very little thought went into my table setting. Simple tea light candles. And it’s always good when the kids help out.

We cooked in the kitchen together.

I put my friend Steph to work with appetizer ingredients.

Have you had strawberry bruschetta? If not, you just have to try it! It’s become our quick and easy appetizer, especially since we grow our own strawberries on the side of our house in a large patch.

I think about hospitality as giving a gift to friends. They love it, it feels good to give out, and it takes your mind off of yourself.

I love love love strawberries and balsamic vinegar together. Great idea to pair them with goat cheese and throw them on ciabatta.

I just made something like this for a shower- I mixed a log of goat cheese with a little honey, spread over the toasted bread and topped with fresh berries- it was so simple and good- and surprised my doubting sisters at how much they liked it!
